happyaron: O again, rendering, rendering, rendering. For systems with TT
Bytecode support, be5invis has a release  of SHS with his sfdhanautohint
(for CJK) and ttfautohint applied called [Inziu]. Follow the link and
fetch inziu-20\d{10}.

These generally look better on lower ppem sizes (common for loDPI screen
display), and is turned off (just not generating the bytecode) for sizes
>= 25ppem (and for fairly impossible sizes like <=9ppem). Hey this
discussion looks familiar doesn't it…

Oh and these are all TrueType, so expect the same problem (or benefit,
for Qt users) with Kaigen Gothic—you lose some OpenType features.
Generated bytecode also makes the files fat.

Anyway these sharp things will not be considered with Ubuntu's current
hintslight policy. This policy is not quite loDPI optimized either so
you might want to… whatever. WQY looks blurry too, you know. I thought
the WQY files were hintless actually.

Title:
  change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK

Status in fonts-noto-cjk package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  just realize that fonts-noto-cjk is available in the repository, finally its packaged.
  i don't really know about korean community.
  But for Chinese and Japanese community, i think that the answer is clear.
  noto-cjk is definitely better what we had before, like fonts- wqy and fonts-droid.
  Android community had received these complains for years, finally they got them fixed on lollipop.
  Fedora also set it as default chinese font start from F21.
  and of course, i still hope that ubuntu could drop those 69-language-selector fontconfig files, just like what F13 did.
